Online talk: Roger Fenton and Stonyhurst
Event info
An online event with Dr Jan Graffius, curator of collections at Stonyhurst College, who will be talking to Gilly Read FRPS about Roger Fenton and his photographs of Stonyhurst and the surrounding countryside.
Although Roger Fenton (1819-1869) is best known for his images of the Crimean War, he trained as a painter and photographed many varied subjects. He lived near Stonyhurst at Crimble Hall and took many landscape photographs around Stonyhurst as well as photographs of the College itself. Fenton was also the first secretary of the Photographic Society, now the Royal Photographic Society.
Gilly Read FRPS is the chair of the RPS Historical Group. The talk will be followed by a Q+A. Questions will be taken by Zoom chat or can be emailed in advance.
The recording from this talk is available here.
